"Here's How You Get Ebola"

[sheltiedave]

From conversations with a few nurse high honcho types, it sounds like the Texas nurses got to watch a half hour video and got a five minute praticum on donning and doffing the gloves, mask, shoe covers, safety glasses, and Tyvek, and then got thrown into the fire. And they were GLAD they got to help their patient try to make it out alive.

And then they got blamed by the hospital for "not following protocol." The management nitwits can't even begin to imagine what it is like to attempt to do something you have never before done in your life. The nurses and care providers in Africa actually know exactly what they needed to do, while the nurses in Texas were doing it on the fly.

It is never a good thing to be playing catchup in a situation where one slip up results in contracting a bug with a now 70% mortality rate.
